An apparatus for packaging at least one surfboard includes an outer enclosure. The packaging apparatus further includes a plurality of edge frames supported directly or indirectly by the outer enclosure. The edge frames are configured to support the surfboard, directly or indirectly. Optionally, the packaging apparatus may also have a plurality of stabilizers affixed to the outer enclosure, where the plurality of edge frames have at least a first edge frame and a second edge frame, the first edge frame abuts at least two of the plurality of stabilizers, and the second edge frame abuts at least two of the plurality of stabilizers.

A protective case for large objects including a lock housing formed from a first section and a second section, both of the sections including at least one external subsection and at least one internal subsection configured to telescope inside the external subsection; and an extension lock comprising a lock housing and a compression lock, the lock housing including a screw-threaded channel, and the compression comprising at least one screw-threaded shaft with a compressive component on the interior end and a lock handle on the exterior end, the screw-threaded shaft configured to matingly engage with the screw-threaded channel of the lock housing; the compression lock configured to descend in the lock housing and compressingly lock the internal subsection in an extended position upon locking rotation of the compression lock; and the compression lock configure to ascend in the lock housing upon unlocking rotation of the cam latch.

A hull assembly is configured to connect a plurality of standup paddleboards. The hull assembly includes a forward hull further comprising a forward hull topside having generally semi-ovular shape. A port hull is tethered to the forward hull further comprising a port hull topside which is generally hexagonal. A starboard hull is tethered to the forward hull further comprising a starboard hull topside which is generally hexagonal. An aft hull is tethered to the port hull and the starboard hull and further comprising an aft hull topside having generally semi-ovular shape. Each of the forward hull, the aft hull the port hull and the starboard hull are adapted to accommodate additional standup paddleboards at substantially the same distance from the standup paddleboard.

A watercraft carrier includes a central hub having an upper surface configured to receive a watercraft, an upright rotatably coupled to the central hub and configured to be disposed in a plurality of positions, and a locking assembly coupling the upright with the central hub and configured to secure the upright in the plurality of positions. The locking assembly is disposed below the upper surface of the central hub. A portion of the upright is disposed above the upper surface of the central hub in a first position and the upright is disposed below the upper surface of the central hub in a second position.

A personal watercraft (PW) lifting apparatus includes an elongate member having an adjustable, fixable length and having opposing distal ends and a gripping part, and a shaped end member fixedly or removable disposed on each respective distal end, each shaped end member having a shape adapted to engage a perimetal edge region or an external side region of the personal watercraft. A user can attach the appropriately shaped ends to appropriate regions of the PW; once secured, the user can then grasp two apparatus or two opposing holding regions of a single apparatus with both hands respectively, without having to turn or twist his/her wrists, enabling easier and more controlled lifting of the PW.

A convertible flotation carrier having an upper and lower sub-assembly is provided. The lower assembly preferably has a twin hull structure with a cradle portion lying between the hulls. The flotation carrier can be used to support a kayak, and a bicycle can easily tow the flotation carrier supporting the kayak over land. In turn, the flotation carrier can be converted to a watertight, buoyant container for the bicycle and the kayak can easily tow the flotation carrier containing the bicycle in the water.

A collapsible protective case for transporting or storing one or more surfboards, the protective case having a rigid, impact-resistant outer surface, a housing and a plurality of adjoining nested sections that are selectively configurable between a collapsed, fully nested position within the housing and an extended position, the protective case including a space configured to accommodate, in the extended position, the surfboard fins.

A personal watercraft cart assembly includes a cart which includes a lower shell and an upper shell hingedly coupled to the lower shell such that the cart defines a hollow body when the upper shell is in a closed position on the lower shell. A pair of rollers is rotatably coupled to the cart for rolling the cart along a support surface. A pair of cradles is coupled to the upper shell to support a personal watercraft for transport the personal watercraft. The cart is comprised of a buoyant material to float behind the personal watercraft. A pair of straps is coupled to the upper shell for securing the personal watercraft on the cart. A light emitter is coupled to the cart to emit light outwardly from the cart thereby enhancing visibility of the cart in a darkened environment.
